  1. And you've got a lotus badge on the Stalker. What has Suave been up to? cheers p.
  2. maybe, but you must concede a bright & shiny se7en is beautiful. Especially if you aren't the one who had to polish it
  3. 1104mi per the web page. It always surprises me how low the mileage is on some of these cars. I know many of us here do 2-3x that each summer. p.
  4. you should try contacting Quantum Mechanics in Connecticut. 203-463-8299 (from their interweb page) I don't have any personal experience but am led to believe they are the experts for all that ails our gear boxes. good luck P. ps. these may (or probably won't) help you. - sorry, it's too large to post: edit. edit.. edit... edit.... edit..... edit...... finally sorted it... look under "Type 9-N Gearbox pdf" http://www.topdocsracing.com/pdf-links ford_cases.pdf
  5. Does anyone know what paint code# he used? it looks brilliant with polished ali. p.
  6. If you're planing to register it make sure your state inspection doesn't require one.
  7. Have you spoken with Texas Motor Works? Dick may know something of the process.
  8. (what scannon said) In Ct you have to trailer your car to the central inspection station near hartford. In Nh (transfer) you get a several day temporary permit when you register the car until you're inspected. I'm not sure about Ky but think it was: "hopefully no one notices me"
  9. On the bright side you'll get to have to un-crating parties! I don't think anyone will dispute that owning (and building) a se7en is an adventure, and rarely straightforward. cheers
  10. :iagree: anything more than 20 mph
  11. I think you added (or is it removed) a little too much "Lightness". That's absolutely brilliant!
  12. Oh man! Politics, religion & Controversy aren't safe topics any more.
  13. So - Will this make the Storker go even faster and further reduce the power to weight ratio?
  14. Paul. Seeing that you are in Idaho you may be out of luck because the first place to go is your local boat yard / fiberglass repairer. You can also find a lot of information online, and order all the necessities, from West Marine. I don't know if you can get replacement clams from Caterham? There is always the second hand route from another member here . If none of these thoughts are helpful you could get in touch with Kinetic Vehicles. Jack makes a lot of fiberglass parts including clams. However I don't know if these would be an exact match for your parts. cheers p.

    Beautiful boat. Do you have any idea how long it "should" take to build? It took me a casual 5mo to put my Birkin together, but have heard of others taking years to build their se7ens.
  16. Shane, Have you found any of these folks to be better than others for our cars (or are we still subject to state-specific regulation)?
  17. He's got a good lawyer
  18. My 2 cents is to go with an agreed upon value arrangement. You never expect to have an issue (deer hunting or otherwise) but it will make your life easier on the other end.
  19. It's already been said, but a huge thanks to the group for and amazing weekend, welcoming me, and contributing to my se7ens addiction with a ride on the track. Next year I hope to be back with my Birkin. (Does anyone have details on the "right" way to modify a raceline duratec wet sump to prevent oil starvation?) As promised- The Good: I've uploaded my pictures from the weekend for people to peruse or download any decent pics of yourself. The Bad: not having time, and to avoid missing anyone I uploaded MOST of what I took. & The Ugly: some of the shots are a little fuzzy if you zoom in too far.

  20. Busted! I suspected you might try and beat/match Kitcat's record of having three cars. or not???? All joking aside, a HUGE thanks to you and Tom for organizing this event. Next year I'll bring my Birkin, and give Roman and Mike a run for the record. p.
  21. My Birkin was ~1275 when weighed at the local quary (without spare tire, gas, extra junk i usually drive with, OR DRIVER) - actual results my vary with driver & setup.
  22. even if you move or sell the car out of state?
  23. Beware of crocodiles in the lake
